Outdrives - Weak point or bad luck?

[glypo]

Down Newbury last night there seemed to be a little bit of a problem with outdrives on the CATs. As far as I was aware 3 CAT SX's were racing (not bad going) and all 3 broke outdrives. Two of which (mine included) had limiters on to stop the driveshafts fouling the cups. Oddly I broke a front out-drive and on the front my driveshafts are well clear of getting stuck.

I think mine can be put down to impact perhaps, but still you would expect a wishbone or something to snap before the differential outdrive - so very odd. The other two cats snapped rear outdrives, so appears to be a case of driveshaft causing the damage.

I just found it very odd that on mine, with the setup on the front my driveshafts should have been well clear of getting stuck, yet I still broke an outdrive yet not anything else.

After doing some modifications I ran the rest of the evening rwd - good news is that the CAT handles fine in rear wheel drive mode
